Answer:

Light year

Explanation:

The distance between the stars is very large. The unit measure this distance should be very large. It is called light year.

One light year is defined as the distance traveled by the light in one year.

Speed of light is 3 x 10^8 m/s

Time taken is 1 year = 365 days = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31536000 second

By using the formula

distance = speed x time

distance = 3 x 10^8 x 31536000 = 9.46 x 10^15 m

Thus , one light year is equal to 9.46 x 10^15 m.

a 1500 kg car accelerates uniformly from rest to 10.0 meters per secound in 3.0 secound .what is the work done on the car in thi

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The work done on the car is, W = 75,000 J

The power delivered by the engine, P = 25,000 watts

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the car, m = 1500 Kg

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0

The final velocity of the car, v = 10 m

The time duration of the travel, t = 3 s

Using the first equation of motion

v = u + at

a = (v - u) / t

Substituting the given values in the above equation

a = (10 - 0) / 3

= 3.33 m/s²

Using the second equations of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + 0.5 x 3.33 x 3²

= 15 m

The force exerted by the car

F = m x a

= 1500 Kg x 3.33 m/s²

= 5000 N

The work done by the car,

W = F x S

= 5000 N x 15 m

= 75,000 J

Hence, the work done on the car is, W = 75,000 J

The power delivered by the engine,

P = W / t

= 75,000 J / 3 s

= 25,000 watts

The power delivered by the engine, P = 25,000 watts

A force of 5N produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 on mass m1, and an acceleration of 24m/s2 on a mass m2. What acceleration would

kotykmax [81]

The acceleration that the same force will provide if both masses are tied together is; 6.0 m/s².

<h3>How to find the Acceleration?</h3>

We are given;

Force; F = 5 N

Acceleration of the first mass, a₁ = 8.0 m/s²

Acceleration of the second mass, a₂ = 24 m/s²

Formula for force is;

F = ma

Let us find both masses; m₁ and m₂.

m₁ = F/a₁

m₂ = F/a₂

Thus;

m₁ = 5/8 kg

m₂ = 5/24 kg

Total mass is; m = m₁ + m₂

m = 5/8 + 5/24

m = 15 + 5/24

m = 20/24 kg

Thus, acceleration if they are both tied together is;

a = F/m

a = 5/(20/24)

a = 6.0 m/s².

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$F =326.7 \ N$

$M = 6$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 200 \ kg$

The length of the small object from the rock is $d = 2 \ m$

The length of the small object from the branch $l = 12 \ m$

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$W = m_r * g$

substituting values

$W = 200 * 9.8$

$W = 1960 \ N$

So at equilibrium the sum of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

$\sum M_f = F * cos \theta * l - W cos\theta * d = 0$

Here $\theta$ is very small so $cos\theta * l = l$

and $cos\theta * d = d$

Hence

$F * l - W * d = 0$

=> $F = \frac{W * d}{l}$

substituting values

$F = \frac{1960 * 2}{12}$

$F =326.7 \ N$

The mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

$M = \frac{W}{F}$

substituting values

$M = \frac{1960}{326.7}$

$M = 6$
